Nurikabe Killer:
All cells are either island or water.
Each lavender cell is an island cell; the number in it is the number of cells in that island.
Each island must contain exactly one lavender cell, and a set of non-repeating digits that sum to the total in the lavender cell.
Different islands may not touch orthogonally.
The water cells are orthogonally connected and may not contain any 2×2 areas of water.
Killer totals are not necessarily in the top left most cell of an island.
Solution code: Column 9
